'Just Collegues' or so they say. Follow Alexis' path to realisation that her future career is bumpier than she would've thought because of a possible love interest. What happens when information about the two gets leaked from the wrong side?

19. We're here

We both got out of my car and closed the doors, I locked my car and started walking towards the flat's stairs.

"You realise there was a lift all along right?" she said tiredly, pointing to the silver doors.

"Oh wow, could've told me, would've saved the work out." I said, pressing the button on the elevator.

We both stood awkwardly, waiting for the elevator to come; when the doors opened, we stepped inside and she pressed her floor button.

Miss Nuevo kept yawning, however doing it discreetely.

"Tired are we?" I asked.

"After all that food, I'm not surprised!" she said as the elevator doors opened and we looked at each other when we stepped out.

She got her keys out of her bag and opened the door, with me outside the door: like it was when I picked her up. She was leaning against the door frame looking exhausted, I put my hands in my pockets, getting my gift. I reached my hand out, handing her the present.

ALEXIS POV

No! He couldn't possibly have gotten me a gift!

"What is that?" I asked pointibg to the black, matte box.

"Your welcome gift." He said putting it in my hand.

"You shouldn't have! I feel very welcome already, that expensive food did it all!" I said laughing.

"Please, do open it." he begged.

"Allright, but you still didn't have to." I said as I took the lid off the black box, staring at the gift.

A sharp pointed, pencil carved with a beautiful, red rose on the top, was placed before me. I covered my mouth looking at the charming man.

"Oh my god! I LOVE IT!" I whispered as I saw what looked like a smile of relief on his face.
